IMMIGRATION REGULATION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Among the
bills introduced in the Senate to-day was
one by Mr.. FarWen to regulate immigra-
ton.
VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Mr. Eugene
Higgins, chief of the appointment divi-
sion, said that the report that he will
shortly retire from the public service is
| true. He will soon tender his resigna-
ton to Secretary Fairchild, but he has
not yet fixed upon the exact date. He
wanted it understood however that his re-
tirement was voluntarily and was in
no way due to efforts Of the people who
have shown dissatisfaction at his reten
ton in office. The reason is his desire TO
better his condition in life by going into
business for himself. The reason why he
has not resigned before was that be was
being ssssiled upon all sides, and he
could not bring himself to retreat
under fire. All statements by him as to
the voluntary nature of his retirement
are confirmed by those officials who are
in position to know. and it was added
that the Secretary was entirely satisfied
with his management Of the division and
has never had cause to regret his appoint
ment.
MILLS WILL GET IT.
Especial to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Mr. Mills
will undoubtedly be chairman of the
WAYS and means committee, despite oil
contrary reports. The objection made
to Mr.. Mills from the first has been on
account Of his supposed uucompromisipg
disposition. The declarations that Mr..
Mills has made of his readiness to sup
port q compromise measure to secure
the harmonious action of the Democrats
has made 1t easier for Mr.. Carlisle to de-
eide in the matter.
